As most gardeners, I had an abundance of large zucchini this summer and found this a great way to use it. I've made this about five times with rave reviews from those who've tried it. I usually add a tablespoon of instant espresso crystals to boost the chocolate flavor. The last time I made a couple of substitutions to increase the nutritional value. I substituted 1/2 cup of ground almond meal for 1/2 cup of flour and added 4 tablespoons of soy protein power. There was little difference in the finished cake - still delicious.

Amazingly moist & chocolatey! I will definitely be making this again. I used unsweetened apple sauce instead of oil (I only added 1 tablespoon of oil), and used small semi-sweet chocolate chips which gave just the right amount of decadence and gooeyness, and didn't sink to the bottom. Make this cake - you won't regret it!

Man, oh man! Exceptionally moist. I substituted applesauce for the oil (left in the butter)and greased the pan for baking. My 6-year old added ingredients in no particular order and it still turned out fantastic! I'll never use another recipe for this cake!
